%*&%($@ Thieves!!!

« on: April 17, 2013, 11:33:43 AM »
If you need to use something I have, ask.  I'll probably loan it or in some cases, give it to you.

I've had two battery chargers for years.  The last time I need one (about a month ago) one of them burnt out.  It was probably 30 years old and I had abused it, dropped it, ran over it once, left it sitting out in the weather many, many times, etc., so I wasn't shocked when it finally went up in smoke.  So, I just pulled out my spare charger that I had only used once or twice.  It's been in the bed of my truck ever since.  I'm pretty sure it was there yesterday evening when I got home from William's house.  I need to charge Homer's battery today and it's gone!  So, I'm off to Harbor Freight to buy a cheap charger when I really need to be working on Homer.  I hope the lowlife who came in my yard and took it out of my truck enjoys it!   >:(

sorry to hear that. If you have a chance, check pawn shops around the area in a month or two. They usually have to hold it for 30 days but some hold them for 60. I found a stolen camera that way.

With any luck, karma will intervene, and they will burn up the battery they attempt to hook it up to, and shock the crap out of themselves in the process...  >:(
